1. While standing naturally, have your right foot step forward into a right neutral bow (facing 12:00) checking the inside of your opponent's right knee with your right knee. In the process execute a right inward block to the inside of your opponent's right forearm, while using your left hand to check high. (The effect of both actions is to expose the width of his body.)
No handsword strike here. :idunno:
Ok i beg to difffer but let me explain quickly. Our instructors told us that this can be a double knife hand strike to the arms (rather than an inward block). However one instructor prefers to use two closed hand blocks while the other prefers to use a double knife hand strike (one to the forearm the other to the upper part of the arm (damn names I forgot what it's called!!:idunno: )
2. Immediately strike to the right side of your opponent's neck with a right outward handsword. (This action helps to nullify the Height, Width, and Depth Zones of your opponent.)
Ahhh, a handsword.
YAH!
3. Pivot into a right forward bow (facing 12:00) as you execute left four-finger thrust (palm down) to your opponent's eyes while your right hand cocks to your right hip (fist clenched and palm up). (The effect of this poke should snap your opponent's head back and away from you.)
Hmmm... Is a four-finger thrust to the eyes a handsword? I dunno. In this instance I'll say yes. Handsword #2? :idunno:
I dunno about this one I got taught a palm's heel to the peltrum (can't spell!! Hey I'm only a teenager give ME A BREAK!!)
4. Having caused your opponent's head to move away from you will cause his midsection to jut forward. Take advantage of this anticipated response by pivoting into right neutral bow, as you strike with a right uppercut punch to your oppoent's stomach. In the process, your left hand becomes a cocking check that is guarding horizontally, palm down near your right biceps. (This action should result in your opponent bending over at the waist.)
Uppercut. Not a handsword. :uhohh:
We got told in class that this was a swordshand in ancient times. :uhyeah:
5. With your opponent now bending over, immediately have your left foot slide counterclockwise (toward 4:30) into a right forward bow (while now facing 10:30), as your left handsword strikes to the left side of your opponent's neck. Your right hand acts sa a positional check against any further potential danger from your opponent's left arm.
A handsw

rd!
YAH! artyon:
6. Without hesitation and while pivoting into a right neutral bow, have your left hand (during the interum) hook to the left side of, as well as on top of, your opponent's neck, to aid you in pulling his head down if necessary. Within the double flow (the circular movements of both of your hands) of your action, execute a right inward handsword to the back of your opponent's neck. At the time your right handsword strikes, your left hand should be checking low.
Another one! But, that's only four so far, right?
EXTENSION TIME! :uhyeah:
7. Immediately (from your left hand checking position) execute a left inward-upward heel palm under your oppoent's chin. Instantly convert this strike into an inward five-finger claw across your opponent's face as your right hnd cocks (palm up) to the left side of your heart. This action shouldturn your opponent's head toward you.
8. Instantly pivot counterclockwise into a right reverse as you execute a right outward (diagonally upward)
handsword to the right side of your opponent's neck.
Handsword #5!!! :knight:
9. From your right reverse bow, deliver a right back stiff-leg lifting kick to your opponent's groin. (Drag your left foot toward your right foot if you need to gauge your distance.)
10. From the point of contact of your kick, execute a right front crossover, and cover out twice toward 4:30.
Sometimes the techniques get their names from their extensions. Like Dance Of Death, you technically don't start dancing on your opponent in that one until you hit the extension. Just a thought... I could be wrong.
